Re: Marti - I wish I were near You.

Sharon - I so agree with everything you've said. Marti is such a special

lady and it comes out in her posts how much she cares about others. I want

to beam myself to CT to give her a hug. And with regards to discusiing her

cancer, or Debbie J's cancer, or anybody's other illnesses, this is OK to do

here on this list, I believe. Everything we go through from the mundane

everyday things to the major health crises like cancer or surgeries or

whatever, they all affect how we feel with our FM. So it all relates.

There's not much that's really considered off topic, in my opinion. I'm

glad you are part of this FaMily, Sharon.
